On this episode of Our American Stories, Sean Kernan of Medium helps us tell the story of Leonard v. PepsiCo Inc. A law school classic that helps kids navigate the curious world of contract law, but in 1999 it was serious business. After a career as a U.S. Marine, Mike Joens tells us how he worked for some of the most successful animation studios such as Hanna Barbera, Filmation, Warner Brothers and Marvel Productions and eventually left Marvel to produce and direct “McGee and Me,” as well as the animated “Adventures in Odyssey.”
